Day 12-Maya-Brent Morton
Maya Whole Health Studio
Today the YoYo’s, hoofed it to Fremont to the “even more spectacular that it looks in the photos” Maya Whole Health Studio, known for programs that continually give back to the community. An unexpected gasp came from the YoYo’s as they entered the drop-dead beauty of this 3rd floor, light-filled, massive beamed studio that was engulfed by giant swaying trees.

Today, we were to experience what was to be one of those… “Now, that’s what I’m talkin’ about”, classes, from Brent Morton whose most recent quest for answers to the big burnin’ questions found him in a 3 month silent meditation retreat. The YoYos, finding it difficult to be silent for 5 minutes, were at the same time curious and excited to take class from this super-reflective yogi.
Brent, waiting for students to arrive, sat in lotus, deep in silent meditation, then, this wise beyond his years, super-accomplished yogi, led a flow that was as challenging as it was spiritually rich. Offering sage wisdom from Einstein, Buddha, Mark Twain and phrases from “A Path with Heart” by Jack Kornfield, Brent interwove his difficult, intricate and somewhat unusual asanas with reflective words giving the yogis in his class introspective strength and guiding encouragement. The YoYos, lovin’ a challenge to their body, mind and spirit… were given an incredible opportunity to participate in an extraordinary, kick-ass…truly peace providin’ practice.
